_Tim_ · Reactor with IC2+RP2 _Tim_ December 2, 2011 at 3:10 AM

From what I've read RedPower recognises if/when IC² is present, and adjusts ores accordingly, the ores are interchangeable between the mods.

Prepare to be surprised, as it is capable of many things now.

That is intense! SUC reactor setups have always impressed me .. Not sure if I'm confident to attempt one yet (I go with the set-and-forget designs). For the ice, are you using .. Lapis lazuli to make it .. ?

This would explain my problem with one MFS unit being depleted before the other.

_Tim_ · Detecting current w/ redstone _Tim_ November 30, 2011 at 5:17 PM

Craft it with single cable, with redstone on top. If there's power/current going through, go red (texture wise, alerting the player the cable is active), output redstone signal.

_Tim_ · I want an introdution to BuildCraft _Tim_ November 30, 2011 at 7:15 AM

The easiest way to see what it's all about is to watch some videos on YouTube. The developer is kind enough to upload videos explaining what it does, check out his first video as a starting point. Watch the others as new features are added. Hopefully it will make sense and answer your questions.

Here's what I collected from several threads last night, as I was making a spreadsheet to easily compare designs. Out of these, a couple I designed myself, any others, full credit to the original creator (sorry I didn't record who's design it was initially, wasn't expecting to publicise my efforts).

As IndustrialCraft is a modern themed mod, it doesn't quite make sense to have "old" ruins of modern buildings ..

_Tim_

Nice stuff, though at the very end (~24:33) you refered to the mod as BuildCraft! Opps!

_Tim_ · Resource calculator _Tim_ November 29, 2011 at 6:50 PM

Not sure if I follow you entirely there, could you give an example?

_Tim_

Funny you bring this up, as last night I constructed a spreadsheet of various reactor designs (breeders too). Some of the designs I got from here, some I did myself, comparing number of chambers, efficiency, EU/t, etc, etc. I'll post it here once I get home if you're interested.

_Tim_

Wow, very nice.

Could there be the chance of having a textbox input for the EU/t? As I'm unable to get a precise number using the slider.

_Tim_

Logistics Pipes by Krapht might be of assistance for you. Check out the video linked in his post, looks like some pretty neat stuff .. Though is still in the early stages of development.

_Tim_ · {Sugggestion} Satellites and Outer Space _Tim_ November 28, 2011 at 9:49 PM

I do like the idea of sending a satallite up (GPS?) to assist in mapping (build a GPS device similar to the EU Reader?) .. Or perhaps build a radar (for on ground placement) to aid in mapping out. Would be a nice replacement for the paper maps in the game, options of waypoints etc, though that might be going too far ..

_Tim_ · silly ways of moving power about _Tim_ November 28, 2011 at 9:45 PM

Oh, I'm sorry. How about carrying around 48 single use batteries, that's a pretty silly thing to do.

_Tim_ · silly ways of moving power about _Tim_ November 28, 2011 at 8:17 PM

Why not carry around a lapotron crystal or two?

_Tim_ · power transmission not working _Tim_ November 28, 2011 at 7:16 PM

What happens if you cut the cable to the electrical engine?

_Tim_ · Resource calculator _Tim_ November 28, 2011 at 5:42 PM

What do you mean exactly, how many raw ore blocks you must find? Not sure if I see the use in that .. What if you've a macerator? Just half the returned number on maceratorable items and you're good to go.

_Tim_

This is fantastic, and handy, thank you! Bookmarked.

_Tim_ · Nether Power Generation _Tim_ November 27, 2011 at 2:27 AM

Pump that lava ocean! Geothermal generators put out 10EU/t, so 6-7 of those will give you your required 50EU/t plus some extra to run the pumps. As for nuclear reactor, you could go for a SUC (single use coolant) design, though that would require bringing in water cells/ice from the surface world.
